Shenyin Shu

Lüshi Chunqiu, a Chinese classic text compiled around 239 BC, credits Shen Yin Shu with getting rid of the corrupt official Fei Wuji.

Shen Yin Shu, who had risen to the position of Sima (chief commander of the army), pointed out Nang's mistake and persuaded him to execute the hated Fei Wuji.

[3] Zuo Zhuan, one of the earliest Chinese works of narrative history compiled in the 4th century BC, gives a detailed account of Shen Yin Shu's words and deeds in the historic Battle of Boju.

His army, which was commanded by the military strategist Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War, as well as Wu Zixu, was out to avenge the death of Helü's father and brother.

In response, prime minister Nang Wa (Zichang) and Shen Yin Shu led the Chu army to the west bank of the Han, across the river from the invaders.

[4][5] Shen Yin Shu devised a plan in which Nang Wa would take up defensive positions with the main army along the Han River, while Shen would go north to Fangcheng on Chu's northern frontier, and lead the troops stationed there to destroy the Wu ships left on the Huai River and block the three passes on the Wu army's return route.
